Miss Me, But Let Me Go By Edgar Albert Guest

Death is inevitable and everyone is destined to leave this world. Howsoever sad you may be, you cannot bring a dead person back to life or go with him. Once a person is dead, all his sins, sorrows, afflictions, temptations, vexations, oppressions, and persecutions cease to exist. Death is a liberator and grieving around corpus or graveyard is futile. The best way possible to say to goodbye to the deceased is to stay calm during the funeral and remember the wonderful times you spent with him. In the poem 'Miss Me, But Let Me Go', Albert Guest asks people not to mourn his death. He requests them to miss him a little, but not for too long; and let him go on his journey to the other life.
